Most of us remember that awkward class in school. It all starts with “when a man and a woman decide to make a baby…” and ends with some variation on birth control methods. Somewhere along the line, ...

Seminal fluid contains protein factors that, when transferred from a male to a female at mating, affect reproductive success. This is true of many different animals, from crickets to primates. In ...

Changes in EAE-associated gene expression were estimated during the peak of the disease (day 14 after EAE immunization). Because EAE is a T cell-mediated disease, we investigated the changes in IFN-γ, ...

Production of foreign proteins in the tissues of transgenic animals represents an efficient and economical method of producing therapeutic and pharmaceutical proteins. In this study, we demonstrate ...

Researchers have come a step closer to understanding how gonorrhea infections are transmitted. When Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacteria responsible for gonorrhea, are exposed to seminal plasma, the ...

(Medical Xpress)—Improved diagnosis and management of one of the most common cancers in men - prostate cancer - could result from research at the University of Adelaide, which has discovered that ...

As males age their reproductive success typically declines. A study in fruit flies, led by University of Oxford researchers has found that while old males do produce fewer offspring than young males, ...

Semen is a fluid that carries sperm, or male reproductive cells, out of the body during ejaculation. The average amount of ...

A man’s seminal fluid, not just his sperm, plays a critical role in the conception, development and future health of a child. Researchers have studied the complex interaction between male seminal ...

Imagine itching, burning, swelling, or even struggling to breathe just moments after sex. For a small but growing number of women, that's not an awkward anecdote—it's a medical condition. It's called ...

More than 80 new proteins, thought to play a role in reproductive success, have been discovered in the seminal fluid of fruit flies. Seminal fluid contains protein factors that, when transferred from ...
